My GE Monogram Gas Stove stopped working (possible water damage)?

My GE Monogram Gas Stove started clicking the other day, even though it was completely turned off. Eventually it stopped clicking but the light would not turn off on one of the burners. its possible that a little bit of water somehow got in somewhere it shouldnt have. Now it does not work at all

Is there any way I can find out what exaclty went wrong with it, and how I can go about fixing it without calling a $$$ Repair man??

Sorry, but this might be a long answer. I have a gas stove that, when you turn the knob to light the burner, it will click to light the burner ( it is an electronic spark ignition which has replaced the older standing pilot system) If the knob is slightly turned to the “on” position, it will click (try to ignite) even though the gas is not flowing to the burner. This is a safety feature to make sure there is a trial for ignition before the gas is released to the burner. So, if the knob is turned slightly to the on position, it will “click” or try to ignite. If it doesn’t work anymore, the spark ignitor may be bad. Also check the position of the burner. If the gap is too great between the spark “plug” and the burner, it will not spark.(just like a regular spark plug) Hope this helps!
